Walking Down The Halbeath Road


Recommended Posts

We've had bespoke home and away kits for the past 4 seasons as well, so safe to assume they'll be bespoke, and not tatty Sunday league shirts from a catalogue.

Totally died a death on the transfer front. Not even any rumours going about. Seems other teams are in the same boat apart from QOS. 

 

I’m sure there’ll be work being done. I’m quite happy there’s no rumours, pen gif isn’t as fun when you’ve known who it’s going to be for a week.

mind when we were all hoping for a new signing, we put out an excited ITS HAPPENING tweet and then announced Ross Graham.

I think I’m prepared to wait 

In fairness, he's had a terrific career so far apart from his spell at EEP. We just suck the joy and talent out of players.

We're not going to sign anyone exciting and anyway, it's still almost three weeks until our first "competitive" game.

And then went on to get nominated for young player of the year in the top flight. 

He was unbelievably shit at us, make no mistake.

Adam will win this league on his own if there's even an ounce of truth in that. Will need to deploy a 3 man midfield for him though.

Did McPake use a 4312 while at Dundee? 

 

We've currently got absolutely f**k all in the way of wide midfielders, and all our strikers work better in a 2.

The had Paul McMullan who's a wide player and McDaid that didn't get a game. Can't think of any other wingers at Dundee under McPake.  Luke McCowan a winger?

 You might be right in terms of playing narrow next season.

Currently we'd have

Mehmet

Comrie-Benedictus-Breen-Edwards

Dorrans-Hamilton-Chalmers

Adam

Wighton-O'Hara

f**k me

Dorrans, Adam and Chalmers is a midfield that would struggle in a game of walking football. Swap Slow Joe out for Adam and get another energetic midfielder in there and that’s probably good enough.

4-3-3 and 3-5-2 were his ideal formations. Most of our success came with the former. Shaun Byrne as ball winner, Jordan McGhee as box to box and Adam dictating play.

We'd then have one out and out winger such as Paul McMullan and then despite having other wingers on the books, he'd infuriatingly play Paul McGowan as a wide midfielder who liked to come into the middle of the pitch rather than another winger.

ETA: It was always, always a lop sided formation with McPake. Near the end McGowan was playing just off the striker in a 4-4-1-1 type formation and again, it was usually someone picked at random to be on one wing rather than one of our quality wingers.

New kit revealed tomorrow. Looks like it’s white with black pinstripes. I do like the pinstripe look. Not my favourite, compared to last season’s effort for example, but it is a lovely style.
